After I read it, I was at the park, and I saw "fuck you" written on the swings. I almost shit a brick.

Maybe it's a Y chromosome thing, but I just couldn't stand it.

True terror lies in the futility of human existence.

"The only freedom deserving the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental and spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest." - John Stuart Mill

The thin line between genius and insanity is less of a border than a union.

"Science can purify religion from error and superstition; religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. Each can draw the other into a wider world, a world in which both can flourish."--Pope John Paul II

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.-Albert Einstein

Well I've never had a karyotype done, but I'm pretty sure all the lady-parts I've got are pretty convincing evidence.

Now, Are You Ready to Learn Economics? by Lyndon LaRouche. You won't learn a damned thing about economics from reading this book, because it is almost 100% gibberish. I mean, "gibberish," as in a completely disconnected series of points littered with academic jargon that sounds intelligent at first blush, but upon closer examination is devoid of coherence. I keep it on my shelf as an example of what nonsense looks like.

Mein Kampf has to be the most hated book that hardly anyone has ever read. You know what? I think Mein Kampf is an awesome book. I say that even though I haven't read it. I have a soft heart for what has to be the most banned book in the world.

Zomg Lyndon Larouche... that nutbag was once my nextdoor neighbor. He had armed guards in jeeps that would shoot uzis over the heads of little kids (i.e., me and my buds) playing in the woods next to his property for kicks.

On the Catcher in the Rye front, it's not strictly a Y chromosome thing, unless I and all my male friends with taste are somehow gender-traitors. It sucked. And I've never figured out how on earth it became mandatory reading.

"Are you saying," Brine interrupted, "that the human race was created to irritate Satan?""That is correct. Jehovah is infinite in his snottiness."Brine reflected on this for a moment and regretted that he had not become a criminal at an early age. --Practical Demonkeeping
